  • Description

    '12 Silk Handkerchiefs' is a moving song-cycle written by internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Reg Meuross. Six songs threaded with a powerful narration written and spoken by the author of The Headscarf Revolutionaries, Brian W Lavery.

    Meuross tells the story as only he can, with beautifully crafted lyrics and melodies that touch the soul, of Hull's 1968 triple trawler disaster and the subsequent uprising led by fighting fishwife Mrs Lillian Bilocca, demanding greater safety on the ships. Reg is joined by Hull musicians Sam Martyn and Mick McGarry.
